hey im new and am looking for advice

[Guest guest]

Hi , can you get on your parents health insurance ('til 26)?  Ibuprofen is

the best I find

for pain 'til you decide what to do. I'm on Orencia now.  Tried Plaquenil-it's

mediocre. Hated

Methotrexate! Minocycline may be a good option for you. I do 100mg per day for 1

1/2 yrs now.

it worked well for 1 year. Cut your salt intake. Watch how you feel after eating

Tomato sauce,

cheese, bacon, " Junk " foods, soda, sugary stuff. you may find some " triggers " to

avoid. Read

all you can on the web about auto immune disease. Get a nice rheumatologist in

your area.
